As Bastrop ISD continues to grow, adjustments to our elementary and middle school boundaries are necessary. These changes ensure we can continue providing the best learning environments and opportunities for all our students. The new proposed boundary lines for 2025-2026 will account for our ninth elementary school and the transition of BIS and CCIS into our third and fourth middle schools. These three schools have recently been named Adelton Elementary, Riverside Middle and Creekside Middle.

The District is hosting two public information sessions next week that will include a brief presentation of elementary and middle school boundary lines and a display of maps so you can find your home and school. District staff will be available to answer questions and listen to your concerns. These voluntary sessions will have the same information presented, so you are welcome to attend either one.
